thank you.

I start my laptop, so the cache should be empty , anyway, I issue:
Code:
arp -n

there is no entry for wlan0. Anyway, I flush everything:
sudo ip -s -s neigh flush all
-> msg: Nothing to flush

After that, the issue remains.

I could finally make it working !
It looks like my network manager did not stop correctly from gui:
so doing (as root)
Code:
service network-manager stop && ifconfig wlan0 down && macchanger -A && ifconfig wlan0 up && service network-manager start

it works!
I need to tcpdump just to be definitively sure the fake mac is given to the wifi spot.
thanx for reading guys.

NAME

       WiFi Radar - utility for managing WiFi profiles

SYNOPSIS

       wifi-radar [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       WiFi Radar is a PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.

       It will look for the config file in /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf.  You can change that in wifi-radar.

       If the configuration file does not exist, it will create it, so you must always run it within a correctly permitted account (as root or use
       sudo or pam).

       Recent versions partially implement WPA-TKIP with wpa_supplicant. You need a running wpa_supplicant installation  with  a  /etc/wpa_suppli-
       cant/wpa_supplicant.conf  file.	 Then by setting in your /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf file the "use_wpa = yes" option and "wpa_driver =
       ipw" for example, wpa_supplicant will be launched when you connect using this profile.

       But currently you can't set your wpa_supplicant options like the psk, proto, key_mgmt etc. using wifi-radar.  Your wpa_supplicant  configu-
       ration  file  should  be set and tested already. If you have different networks set in wpa_supplicant.conf, then you can switch using wifi-
       radar.

       The wifi-radar script accepts the following command-line options:

OPTIONS

       -v, --version for printing the version.

FILES

       /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf
	       See for more information.

BUGS

       Probably lots!

       Because of repeated scanning, WiFi Radar is very power consuming.

       Please report bugs to the mailing list <https://lists.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/wifi-radar>
